Worked on getting the modern saw broke in the last two days, 28 tanks of fuel and a whole lot of wood. Hauled two truck and trailer loads in between cutting today.

I knew it! I always knew it. You're an animal.

You might try Haralds small engine, out by Clever, Mo. They're not open Saturday or Sunday though. M-F till 6pm. They really like it if you have a part number.
Edit, phone # 1-417-743-2491.

Thanks much

....Anybody else here cut alone on a regular basis?

I do. No cutting partners around. A lot wiser than used to. Had a small tree fall on my shoulder, neck, head. Glancing blow. One of the times I didn't wear a hard hat or watch the tops. Really surprised when it drove me to the ground. Left a good sized knot and was sore for 2-3 weeks. I knew I had been protected. Came to my senses laying on the ground with my running chainsaw about 6" from my hand. Now I never cut a standing tree without my HH on. never. I pray God's protection on us when we cut. Guessing most of us have similar stories

Cut by myself 90% of the time. I've learned to be slow and calculating instead of speedy and risky.

That is a lot of cutting on the fuel efficient 562. What do you think of the saw?

What?? And it hasn't blown up yet???

 

[awol]

That is a LOT of sawing, and the 562 is fairly efficient, but the fuel tank is very small on it. The Echo holds half again as much fuel, and will cut more wood on a tank full. The performance is a little disappointing, but it is still stock. The weight is not bad, but I still am getting used to the tiny front handle, and flimsy feel. Can hardly wait to get inside the thing!!!

 

[awol]

What?? And it hasn't blown up yet???

Nope, still runs! It does do a bit of knocking and clanking when its tryin to figure itself out. It also did not like pulling, and would not oil the 30" bar. At first it was hard to start when warm, but now takes right off on the first pull.

You must be working the crap out of it.

Yeah, it has taken the place of the Echo the last two days. Except for the 30" bar!!

 

[cobey]

That is amazing. Glad you are going to be ok. You know there are a lot of us around. Next time you want to go cut wood (and converse with the Creator) post a message here; and, maybe one of us can be your cutting buddy for a day. I don't talk much anyway so I won't interfere in your quiet time. I cut by myself a lot too and you have got me thinking harder about it. I don't know have any friends around here that like to cut wood on a regular basis. I have one that likes to go occasionally. We are supposed to cut on Monday, weather permitting.

Anybody else here cut alone on a regular basis?

sometimes I do
